The “For Shits and Giggles” One

EP. 02

You know you're in your thirties when the foods you grew up with suddenly turn on you. Like, what do you. mean I can’t have a black coffee in the morning and then flaming hot Cheetos in the same day?

So recently my homie's been having digestive issues and wondering how that affects their health.

Instead of suggesting a food diary like a normal human being, I built them an app!

Here's the six types of farts and conditions that happen after a meal.

I drew some cute illustrations in Procreate and animated in Photoshop, because… why not have fun with an app that tracks farts?

1. The ghost fart: odorless but present

2. The classic fart: your run-of-the-mill smell

3. The killer: that rotten egg deathly smell

4. The bloated belly: like you almost convince yourself you’re pregnant?

5. The tummy gurgles: your belly is cooking up its next stink storm

6. The poop: the goods have been dropped off!

I threw the mockups into ChatGPT, and said give me a prompt that I can send to Replit. I used Cursor to update the database with Google Sheets.

Added a cute favicon so it looks like a real app on your iPhone.

I deployed, sent it to my homie, and all in all it took me 3 hours. The next step is to add a food log so they can correlate the foods eaten with the digestive response.

And I know, apps like this exist already. But when you build your own, your data stays yours.. .not sold to some corporation. That's the whole point of tiny apps.

If you've experienced tummy issues and can relate, check out the demo. What should I build next?
